[QUOTE="UPS Lifer, post: 621393, member: 9789"] Let's face it.... there are some people who just don't know how to deal with others. They can be on a power trip - [B]but you are the one who is most likely going to suffer from it.[/B] 1. Treat this person like you would any other customer. BE POLITE and RESPECTFUL. 2. Ask for ID 3. If you did something that was not right - politely apologize and ensure the management person it will be corrected. 4. If the person has showed you identification and that they are a UPS management person and has instructed you to do something that will take you off plan - contact your supervisor immediately. [B]You are responsible to your immediate center team not somebody like me![/B] ...Except as noted below. Something to remember - If you are doing something wrong especially if it is safety related, this person will probably call it in. Anytime I saw something while on vacation and out of my own district, I would just let the driver know who I was and suggest they try an alternative to what they were doing. I would only interact if there was a problem with safety or security. The key to ensuring cooperation is to treat the driver with dignity and respect. If the driver was in my district - I would give them instructions and expect them to follow those instructions or we could call his supervisor directly. If the driver failed to listen to me than I would take whatever steps I needed to to ensure this would not happen again. Bottom line - MOST mgmt on vacation or retired will not bother you unless you are really doing something wrong - The most you will get is " HI - I am a UPS ___ from ____ " or they want to take a picture of your truck. So either you are dealing with the egotist or you need to fix something ... So - be cautious... This was a great question to ask!!! [/QUOTE]
